IntroductionSince the CM 690’s introduction in 2007, the CM 690 became one of Cooler Master’s best selling chassis. Sales records were set, putting Cooler Master as innovators in the mid-tower chassis category.
To continually lead the market, Cooler Master has built an enhanced version with the CM 690 II. The CM 690 II defines a new category of functional mainstream chassis that has enthusiast features. We believe that with these improvements the CM 690 II does not lose any of the original design spirit.
